As a woman, it can sometimes feel intimidating going into a mechanic shop, but I felt completely comfortable and respected here. They were honest, didn’t talk down to me, and took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. The service was fast, fairly priced, and my car runs great. I truly appreciate being treated with respect and will definitely be back!
Foster's worked on a Dodge Avenger of mine when the alternator went bad. Gave a very reasonable price, had to work done in a couple hours and so far no problems with it. Everyone at the shop was professional and polite and made the service a breeze. Will definitely be back using them again
Wow! We’re relatively new to the Jackson area and recently bought a 2004 Toyota Sienna at an auction as a 3rd vehicle to putz around in. The air conditioning was only working intermittently. Since we’ve never taken one of our cars to a local mechanic I did what most people do today: looked at reviews online. The first garage I called could not fit us in for about 2 to 3 weeks. I mentioned that we were hoping to use the van over the holiday weekend and this particular garage recommended Foster’s. You read that right… another highly rated garage recommended Foster’s. So I called. Dave got us in the same week. I dropped the car off at eight in the morning and by two I received a phone call that the van was repaired and ready to go—fixed the same day. Thankfully, it wasn’t a compressor issue. They found a couple of leaks, put on some new compression fittings, and topped off the refrigerant—all for a fair price and a guarantee.
Excellent work. Fair prices. Friendly staff. You can’t go wrong!
Even though I knew the Owners daughter, I still researched repair shops and read review after review. We have chosen Fosters a handful of times between my young sons vehicles and ours. Seriously, so timely, so nice, just overall a fantastic experience! He even let us keep the vehicle there until our funds were available. We are very grateful for finding out the issues so fast and fixing them! We wouldn't go anywhere else and HIGHLY recommend!
Awesome! Dave Foster is wonderful to work with. He certainly has went above and beyond to help me with my car.. I recommend this business for any vehicle services. Thank you Dave! Dawn Del Priore
They don’t recommend unnecessary service. Fosters does what they say they will and have always done a great job fixing all the vehicle trouble I’ve brought them.
Pricing is great and this place is not out to take advantage of folks which is awesome! It would be very hard to even consider taking my vehicles anywhere else since fosters does such a great job!
Oh and one more thing: The staff here has a culture of being friendly and taking care of the people they serve. It’s such a blessing to interact with such friendly folks.
Dave and the rest of the staff are top notch. Had my vehicle diagnosed and back on the road in a couple days. Honest, affordable, and communicative. That’s all you can ask for in a shop!
I’ve been going to Dave at Fosters Garage for almost 3 years now, for all my truck and Jeep needs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Best and most honest mechanic I’ve ever met!
This place and the people that work there are amazing, they did a fantastic job with everything I needed done. They are super courteous and have been great about addressing a couple of follow up issues I've had. I will never go anywhere else. I would definitely recommend.
I've brought my car here a few times with various issues. They're always quick, do a great job, and are honest about the work they do. I'll definitely be back.
I had struts installed by Fosters and when I noticed a large wrench still attached, I removed the wrench and went back and asked for the vehicle to be looked over. They said it was fine without looking at it. I took it to another shop put it on a lift and found the CV shaft on the driver side had a torn boot throwing grease and a broken sway bar linkage. Very unprofessional of a shop to deal with. I would recommend anyone steer far away from this place.
Best mechanic, they are very reasonably priced. The guy I spoke to, who I believe is the owner has over 30 years experience. he guarantees his parts and labor, to be of the upmost qualit, and I believe it. I've been there 2 times for 2 different repairs. And I highly recommend this place to all.
Foster’s garage is the best shop in Michigan. They finished the repairs in a very reasonable amount of time, the price to replace the engine in my 17 Subaru was more than fair. If you have any issues they stand behind their work 100%. Foster’s garage will be the only place I go, and the only place I’ll recommend to friends and family. Thank you Foster’s again for the great work on my car!
The first reviews are exactly correct, great service, honest and kind people. Being a single woman who doesn’t know anything about cars, I am very grateful for them telling me what is most important to get done and not trying to overcharge or oversell me. Bc just about everywhere else did. I will definitely recommend them to anyone around the Jackson area and will be going back.
By far the best mechanic shop I’ve ever used! Dave and his crew were so patient with the repair of my Explorer. We had to source rare parts for the repair and they worked with me the entire time. Pricing was extremely reasonable as well. Thanks again!
Took my step daughter's Jeep in for a bad oil leak on a Friday, car was diagnosed and parts ordered, and had it back by Monday (they're closed on the weekends).
Got it home and noticed a dark fluid still leaking from the bottom. Upset, we took it back because we figured there was still an oil leak. They looked at it, determined there was transmission fluid leaking (it was super dark and looked like oil because it old and a bit burnt) and they decided to fill the fluid back up and replace the transmission lines FREE of charge.
Upon picking it back up, they were even able to hoist the car up and let me inspect the work they did with the oil pan and the transmission lines.
We've had the car back a week now and it's running great with no leaks from anywhere. Great work and great service.
Was planning on having to put so much money to fix my car's alternator. To my surprise it was a fraction of the cost I was quoted to by a friend at another place. Foster's Garage was very nice and respectful to a low income single mother...they have all my business when it comes to my car. I deeply appreciate everything Foster's Garage did for me.
I was referred to Fosters Garage by a random person so I did a little research online before I decided to give them a try and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision!! I will NOT take my truck anywhere else as long as I’m in or near Jackson. Dave and his crew do great work and at a price that that won’t break the bank! Fosters Garage is definitely who you want working on your vehicle! This is the last review you need to read....I promise you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Dave and crew y’all are much appreciated and I’m now a customer for life!!
My experience with Foster's garage was a great one! I am from out of town and my car started malfunctioning while I was there visiting my father. I knew no one to fix the car. They were recommended by someone local. They got it in as soon as they could and fixed it.
I had my van at another local shop and they kept it for 4 months trying to figure out what was wrong with it. They never fixed it, but charged me over $2,000. Took it to fosters, they had it fixed in 2 days and only charged me $800. Fosters will have all of my business in the future
Foster's Garage is one of the few places left where they will treat you fairly, do well above-average work, stand behind their work and above all else they're honest. If you are in need of an A1 mechanic job this is the place to go. They probably will not get you in on the very day that you go in and see them. They're that busy and there's a reason they're that busy. They're that good! I would definitely give this place a 5-star rating!!
I dropped off my Dad’s 2006 ranger that needed alignment and was leaking oil. They had it repaired in less than two days before they weekend so If I needed it before the weekend I could get it. Really good service and very reasonable cost. I will highly recommend Fosters Garage to anyone in Jackson.
My daughter was having car issues and she was referred here by Budget Tire. Dave and his staff were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and charged a fair price. Will use them in the future if/when our vehicles get sick.
Dave is a good guy. Is great to work with. Very Knowledgeable. Works with you on pricing and when you can get the money for the job to be done. Ordered me a new engine and had it in in 5 business days!
So grateful a friend referred me to Dave. We needed a new alternator and another place in town wanted to charge us double the average cost! I called up Fosters garage and he found us the parts we needed, got us right in, and was able to do it for less than the average cost! He was honest about the time it would take, about the parts, and the service was great! When we got the van back they had even fixed our problematic electric doors without me even mentioning or asking for them to be fixed! They are such good people here! Honesty can be hard to find and they have it!
Dave is polite, honest,prices are fair, does military discounts, repairs are done right. Place is clean and organized, has coffee going every morning just would like to see some doughnuts, definitely would recommend to anyone. Well done Mr Foster proud of you buddy
Dave Foster has worked on my vehicles for years. He is honest, thorough, and dependable - everything you want in a mechanic! Car problems are such an inconvience and expense anyway, the last thing you want is the added worry of whether or not your repairman is padding your bill. That's not a concern at Foster's Garage. Next time your auto requires maintenance, stop into Foster's Garage and tell him Jolie sent you! And expect straight-forward, reliable service. Then it will be your turn to write a glowing review :)
